Villain bets into my AK...sigh!

[mbman]

Villain is 28/6/6 over 36 hands for what it's worth, hasn´t been out of line or anything.

My image should be fairly tight.

It always puzzles me when someone bets into me on these flop and I go ZOMG it's a set, but might also be a weaker ace. So I opt to call down to either lose the least or gain the most. Perhaps raising the flop is still better, however, I feel this line maximizes EV the most against villain's likely holdings.

On the river, is he really betting AQ/AJ there again? I think not, but since my hand is so underrepresented, do I still have to make the crying call getting 3-1?
